Chimera ahh car
Yeah but the mod options are insane
Doesn’t beat the gross experience of seeing a cybertruck on the road. I wanna point and laugh every time. The multipla is cute in comparison. Look at this goofy lil guy <3
Would always prefer this reasonable priced vehicle with european safety measures over the ridiculously overpriced, rusty garbage container cutting fingers off or trapping people inside because of an update on a hot summer day.
I have owned two FIATs and a Lancia (FIAT Group) Delta. The Lancia was the funnest car I’ve ever owned. It chomped my Golf GTI any day. Road handling was a dream, equipment was amazing, things like stock Recaro seats, etc. That said, I will never own a FIAT again. FIAT is Stellantis: FIAT, Peugeot, Chrysler, Citroen… Amazing impulse buys. Sweet cars new, but they age horrendously.
They are designed to fail in the short term. Amazing innovations, power oriented engines, but just too flimsy.
The Multipla is a great concept executed the FIAT way.
I believe Honda had a 6 seater subcompact. The CHR or CRV? I can’t remember. I’d pick the Honda any day.
The MKII had much better styling, BTW
I’ve rebuilt two FIAT engines. An engineer’s wet dream. A 1,20L that output nearly a 100 HP? yes, but a shitload of compromises. the fucking head was the top engine support!!! Fuck FIAT.
I must admit that the 900 was simpler than a scooter’s engine. You could probably work on it with a Leatherman and some duct tape, but I have owned motorcycles with 3X the power output. I’ve driven some Cinquecentos. Opening the hood/bonnet has given me PTSD.
It was the Honda HRV, and it couldn’t hold a candle to the Multipla.
The Multipla had 6 full size seats that could all comfortably hold adults, plus the backseats where individually removable. I loaded a couch sideways in that car. Absolutely brilliant.
The middle seats on the HRV were significantly smaller, no comparison in terms of usefulness and versatility.
The Mk II lost all the charm of the original in my opinion. I think there is nothing cooler than going on a road trip with three people in the front (like in a transporter). To have that in a compact car would be a huge selling point for me. Who really cares about looks – cars are for utility in the first place imho.
I think old American cars had a couch instead of a front seat, so you would be able to fit an entire family (or one average sized American). How cool was that?
The Multipla is just inoffensive uggo. I’d rather have that than a PT Cruiser.
That thing looks like someone’s just discovered the concept of curves and is just going hog wild with it. The cyberdumpster is still the worst for many reasons, but goddamn, the Cruiser is putting up a respectable fight.
I don’t think PT Cruiser is that bad. It looks like every other early oughts car except that at least this one is attempting to bring some styling from the early hot rods.
You have clearly never driven any of those. I s working at a car rental in the early oughts, when these came out. Still one of the most pitiful cars I’ve ever driven. On par only with three C 300 I think. My god these Chrysler’s just hate corners.
It’d be more tolerable a design without rich Elon bros being their primary market. They’re both dorky, but the context is key. If the cybertruck was affordable and well built by a less shitty company, it wouldn’t represent the decline of American civilization.
I saw a matte black one yesterday, it looked like someone had forgotten to finish painting it and just left primer on it.
Edit: this is about seeing a Tesla in the wild, realized I was unclear
1294 horse power ahh tuned car
Google? I’m European, I’ve seen this on the streets. Still sometimes do. My friend had one.
